Corporate Social Responsibility

Carbon neutral commitment

Our commitment is to make every parcel we deliver carbon neutral, for all our customers, at no extra cost for them.

We do that by measuring our CO2 emissions, by striving to reduce them, and by offsetting the remaining emissions.

DPDgroup targets a reduction of road transport CO2 emissions of 10% per parcel by 2020, compared to the levels of 2013.

How we do it:

By improving the efficiency of our transport network, by tour optimisation for example

By the deployment of innovative solutions, like Predict or Pickup,

By an increased use of alternative fuel vehicles

To offset our remaining transport emissions, we finance renewable and cleaner energy production projects by purchasing carbon credits. Together with EcoAct, the European leader on the carbon market, we have put in place an offsetting program respecting the most rigorous international standards.

Smart urban delivery

Over 74% of the European population lives in a city. As we deliver to more and more people every day, we need to be aware of our impact on urban populations and communities and offer solutions that improve people's way of life.

Our commitment toward Smart Urban Delivery is to improve urban-life by giving people greater delivery choices, while helping to tackle traffic congestion and to reduce local pollution.

Our actions in this field also result in significant benefits: less particulate matter emissions in our cities, less traffic on our roads and less time wasted by customers waiting for their parcels.

How we do it:

We measure the environmental impact of our logistic platforms and of our vehicles in city centres.

Innovative entrepreneurship

Traditional delivery business is reshaped by the rise of e-shopping and on-demand delivery. Therefore, we encourage innovation inside and outside of our business.

Entrepreneurship and innovation are part of our DNA. Most part of our business expansion history has been made through acquisitions of local delivery expert companies characterised by their outstanding entrepreneurial spirit: mostly run by entrepreneurs and highly dedicated managers.

Our model for achieving this goal is based on intrapreneurship, support to local partner companies, and employee training.
